Abstract
This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought nitrogen strengthened 22chromium-13nickel-5manganese-2.5molybdenum stainless steel alloy bar and wire for surgical implants (UNS S20910). Materials shall be tested and shall conform to chemical requirements such as chemical composition, and product analysis; metallurgical requirements such as inclusion; and mechanical requirements such as dimension, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Brinell hardness.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers the chemical, mechanical, and metallurgical requirements for wrought nitrogen strengthened 22 chromium – 13 nickel – 5 manganese – 2.5 molybdenum stainless steel alloy bar and wire for surgical implants.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
